What you receive

Worksheet preview

Use this structure to test whether retrieval and prompt assembly preserve the same authorization boundary as the source system.

Source row

Source: customer knowledge base. Authorization: tenant plus role. Chunk lineage: document ID, section ID, ingest time, source permission hash.

Boundary test

Ask whether a user can retrieve a chunk they could not open directly in the source application.

  • Expected: denied
  • Observed: record retrieved chunks and filters
  • Fix owner

Prompt assembly review

Mark whether retrieved content is labeled as data, whether source citations are available, and whether malicious instructions are filtered or quoted.

01

Review prompts

  • Can a user retrieve material they cannot access through the source system?
  • Can metadata filters be bypassed, omitted, stale, or over-broad?
  • Are generated answers grounded in authorized chunks with visible source context?
  • Can malicious documents inject instructions into prompt assembly?

Next step

Describe the system, question, and timing.
